The Vanishing Stars: A Cosmic Catastrophe

Picture walking outside one night and seeing nothing but a pitch-black sky.

No stars. Just emptiness. Besides being creepy, this would shatter our sense of the

universe. Navigation systems from ancient times to modern space travel would collapse

without starlight as a reference. Culturally, the stars have guided myths,

religions, and dreams — losing them would be like erasing part of human identity.

But scientifically, it’s terrifying: if stars vanished, it might mean something catastrophic happened

to the universe itself, like a cosmic glitch or reality-ending event.

A sky without stars wouldn’t just be lonely — it could be the beginning of the end.
